Turkish citizen with a UK 5 Year Visa wanting to visit France during UK stayhttp://forum.wordtravels.com/discussion/13077/turkish-citizen-with-a-uk-5-year-visa-wanting-to-visit-france-during-uk-stay
Tue, 20 May 2014 20:57:04 +0000- TurkeyBoncuk_196613077@/discussionsI wonder if anyone can give me some advice. My mother in law is Turkish and she has a 5 year visa to visit us in the UK. We would like to take her to Paris in Sept 14. If she applies for a Shengen visa in Istanbul, do you know how long it would take. Plus, is this correct as her first point of entry will be the UK on her Turkish passport, and UK visa. I would assume it is right that she applies to the French consulate in Istanbul.....if anyone knows I would be very grateful.

Top 10 Attractions in Istanbul.http://forum.wordtravels.com/discussion/12673/top-10-attractions-in-istanbul
Sun, 16 Feb 2014 09:57:06 +0000- Turkeycalledman12673@/discussionsHere is a list of top 10 attractions in Istanbul.1.Topkapi palace; the residence and office of the Ottoman sultans from 1478 to 1853, is by far on top of our top 10 list. You will need at least two hours to see most of it. Audio guides or guide books would not help much if you want to make most out of it in a short time.2.Hagia Sophia; the church of Holy wisdom once and a marvel of the ancient Roman architecture now attracting 12 thousand people every day on average, is number 2 in our top 10 list and you can see it in an hour.3.Suleymaniye mosque; the most beautiful and largest mosque in Istanbul, was built by the legendary Ottoman architect Sinan in 1557 for Suleiman the magnificent. Although it is far from the other attractions, definitely worth going the extra mile.4.Basilica cistern, the largest water reservoir in the old city built by the Roman emperor Justinian, is one of the few places you might want to stay longer if you are visiting Istanbul in summer.5.Grand bazaar; the largest and first souk in the world, is housing about 4000 shops selling beautiful Turkish souvenirs.6.Rumeli Fort; A huge fort built right at the narrowest point of the Bosphorus strait by Mehmet II in 1452 deserves to be on this list.7.The Blue mosque; Although the original name is Sultan Ahmet mosque, it is widely known as the Blue mosque due to the dominant blue decorations inside. Except for the crowds, definitely a must for travelers but you’d better time your visit well, otherwise you will be overwhelmed by the crowds.8.Spice market; It is not just about spices but a lot more delights, herbs, vegetable and souvenirs. It is not a maze like the Grand Bazaar but a little and enjoyable market for especially foodies.9.Yedikule dungeons; Seven Tower dungeons is a prison complex adjoining to the ancient walls of Constantinople and hosted quite a few ambassadors and wayward soldiers during the Ottoman times. 10.Chora museum; Another little gem away from the busy Sultanahmet square is this tiny but amazingly beautiful converted church which houses about a hundred mosaics and frescoes from Roman times.

I'm getting married Bodrum (or surrounding area), May 2013. I am english, my partner a Turk... who's currently working in Nigieria until February 2013.
We are meeting in Bodrum in May this year, but there are a few things I'm getting stuck on.
1) - Groom suit hire - my fiancee thinks you can ONLY buy made to measure wedding suits in Turkey - I'd like to think he's wrong, as I think this would be very expensive... could you adivse... because the other problem is the best man and the brides father (my dad), live in UK, so not sure how to go about matching everyone's suits. :(
2) - Venue, I DO NOT want a beach wedding because quite frankly I don't want "missus Miggins and her snotty kid" taking photos of me, when my friends have paid to come for the wedding - and i've paid to feed them - I'd like a little bit of privacy - so where do you think would be appropriate - I'd love a great view for the wedding.
3) - Any local decent wedding planners in Bodrum/Bitez/Gumbet - I personally think it'd be easier with both of us out of the country (and my partners rather laid back attitude) that a wedding planner would be useful.

ANY HELP would be greatly received, and thank you for your time...
Kind regards

Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:03:14 +0000- TurkeyDaznjux12098@/discussionsWe are getting legally married in England the day before we travel to Turkey Antalya. We would like to have our wedding 'blessed or vows renewed ' during our stay with, in full wedding attire with the children who have no idea we will be married when we travel. All the information we can find is about weddings and no one seems to know the answers to the following questions,

1) can this be done?2) where locally do we contact to arrange this ourselves3) Who would conduct the service? We will already be married so would we need a registrar?4) I understand you can get married anywhere in Antalaya, surely a blessing is easier to arrange?5) are their any rules and regulations we need to adhere to?6) we have tried to contact the hotel direct but the language barrier is proving tricky in explaining what we want? Any tips?7) we are happy to travel within Antalaya for the ceremony and return to the hotel for the evening as there are only 6 of us and will not be further guests, we want to keep the ceremony simple.

Our dream was to get married in Turkey however the procedure was too complex which is why we would like this ceremony, can you please help us, The travel agent say they can not help as the hotel we booked is not one of their wedding venues, any advice will be gratefully appreciated ]]>

I will be travelling to turkey in the first two weeks of July (10 days). Currently my itinerary includes Istanbul, Cappadocia and Ephesus. We aren't that gung-ho about shopping, but we love adventure sports. I am a seasoned traveller. I had a few doubts and would be obliged if you would answer them.
1) Is the Ephesus one day tour from Istanbul worth it? I went on trip advisor but couldn't find much. If you have had the experience, which one should I take?
2) Vegetarian food. We are strict vegetarians (no meat, no fish) but not vegans (i.e we have milk and eggs). So will I be facing any problems related to food in any of the above places? If so do you have any suggestions?
3) In Cappadocia which is the better place to stay - Urgup, Uchisar, Gerome or Cappadocia?
4) Currency : We have a USD forex card (prepaid currency card). Will that work? Should we carry Euros too?
5) How much cash should ideally one carry to Turkey?
6) Bosphorus Night Cruise : I was wondering whether I should take the local cruise by my self or book a dinner cruise through a tour company.
7) Is the black sea worth visiting from Istanbul?

Any help will be truly appreciated.
Thank you.]]>

Since Turkey offers visa on arrival for Pakistanis with a Schengen, and i would like to travel as as soon as possible, would i still be able to get an entry visa on arrival before my Schengen is activated??

Internship in turkey for Indian citizen holding Italian residency permithttp://forum.wordtravels.com/discussion/9752/internship-in-turkey-for-indian-citizen-holding-italian-residency-permit
Mon, 19 Nov 2012 17:55:32 +0000- Turkeyadithc9752@/discussions
I am an Indian citizen with an Italian student residency permit valid until February 2013.

I have secured a non-paid internship at an Ankara-based think tank. My internship runs for one month, starting from December 10.

The Turkish embassy in New Delhi says the following: Ordinary, Special and Service passport holders with a valid Schengen or OECD member's visa or residence permit may get their single entry visas valid for one month at the Turkish border gates upon their arrival, provided that they meet cetain conditions.

But I am not sure whether an educational internship will qualify for a one-month single entry visa.

I would really like to get some help on this.

Best,
Adith]]>

Me & my wife are planning to go to Turkey on Honey moon, both have valid UK visa and I know that Pakistani passport holders with valid UK visa can get on arrival visa in Turkey, just one confusion, my wife hasn't travelled to UK yet, as per our plan we'll go to Turkey first and then come to UK together, can this create a problem for her getting a visa at the airport? can they raise this issue that she has a visa for UK but never visited there yet?
